SPEEDY WAR VESSELS,
The Navy Department Finds a Cruise
to Interest Them.

to Interest Them.
The account Of the recent trlalin England
Of the spanish cruiser Reina Eegente, re-
sulting .u development of speed Of 200
knots over a measured mile has been re-
ceived with keen interest at the Navy De-
partment, where every effort has been made
to design vessels Of like high speed to meet
the demands Of Congress. The number OF
war ships able TO make above nineteen
knots is much smaller than Is commonly
supposed, and, In fact, the records OF the
department show that but two other yes.
sells have been able to attain that speed.
These are the Dogali built In England for
the Italian government, which made one
run over measured mile at the rate OF 10 sc
knots per hour, and the Orlando, built by
private contractors for the English govern
ment, which made one run at the rate of
1925 knots. 1t is said at the department
that these two vessels, together with the
Reina Regente, are the outcome Of efforts
to reach nineteen knots, running through
many years, and the small measure of sue
GEES attained renders 1t unsafe to guarantee
so high speed for the cruisers now build
ing and known as the "l0knot" cruisers.

TIMES of Sunday says: "rhose who
know Africa unite in discrediting the
story of Staniey's death, but popular
feeling is that there il likely to be

death was being whispered about in
city circles on Wednesday, whereas
Reuters dispatch from st. Thomas
containing the stttement did not reach
London until Thursday. 1t is recalled
with an indeiinable sense Of mystery,
that on three previous occasions fatal
ties in Africa have been known some
how in the City of London before the
press news arrived in the regular chan
nels-the death of the Prince Imperial
in 1879, the shooting of James Carey
in 1883, and the death of Gen. Gordon
in 1885. How the intelligence is thus
obtained is a secret, aud this is proba-

PROCLAIMED.

Especial Cable Dispatch to The Start
LONDON, July 23.-Ireland was for
mally proclaimed to-day. The Mar
quis of Londonderry issued the procla-
nation which puts the whole of Ire
land, with the exception of the county
of Antrim, outside the protection of
common law. The courts of England
will sit for Irish causes and Irishme
can no more he tried by Il jury Of their
countrymep.
The news fell upon Ireland with Il
deadly pail. After the Parnelli,c vic
tories and the glmpses of sunshine on
the green sward of Erin this blow falls
with ten-fold force. Ireland will DC
ruled by British bayonets, by force
and not by the strength of right.
Special commissioners are named
under the provisions of tho Coercion
law, and their powers arc unlimited
They may imprison men without cause
and give no reasons. Ireland was
never SO badly off as she will be
under the new regime of tho cocr-
ciOnists.
Tho belief is general that Balfour and
his associates will carry out the new
law to its last letter. This first move
ment of proclamation sounds the death
knell of Ireland's hopes till the battle
is fought all over again. Threats of re-
bellion against the unnatural order of
things will only bring the men utter
ing them to tho chains of the nearest
prison.
MIR. Gladstone, Mr.. Parncil and the
Irish leaders are sOrrowfut Tonight.
They are naturally dishenrtened by tho
turn of events, but will keep up the
fight to the last and deepest ditch.

The action of the two factions of the
Democratic party in the new parish of
Acadia indicates how the gubernatoriat
contest will wind up in the State con-
vention. The administration wing
having control OF the pan ty machinery,
the opposing faction has no show and
they either have To acquiesce or be
branded with the stigma of boilers.
There is but one way to avert the dis

OF the party TO ignore factions and
